tv Your World With Neil Cavuto FOX News December 10, 2012 1:00pm-2:00pm PST
1:00 pm
could smooth things over. police in tucson did not play along and they arrested thomas and found $20,000 in his personal belongings. moron. that is it for "studio b" today and back later for the fox report with the dow up a little bit. we get this fiscal cliff done, though say, and neil cavuto knows but he does not tell checking all his vast stockhold ings. >>neil: the president and speaker boehner meeting. is it because my superpowers are clearly working? a reminder that is built to scale. no need to thank me now, citizens of earth because we may have gotten them together, but yours truly is not happy with what he is hearing.
1:01 pm
>> welcome, everyone, on a busy morning, i am neil cavuto. one step back, 21 days before the big day. the deal taking shape would put off $100 million in spending cuts by finding savings now but the cuts could be addressed next fall with the potential tax hike as a trigger, a reverse sequestration. so back up for the tax hikes. that would be like me saying i will go on a diet next year. it doesn't mean i will be eating fewer canollis this year. it is time to watch this, my co-super hero. what do you make of this? i'm not encouraged. >>guest: not encouraged. we started hearing when speaker
1:02 pm
boehner started talking framework, that is kicking the can down the road. the irony is, the debt ceiling debacle from last year they said it would be the last one, when we come to terms to this we will be position idea we have to make tough choices. obviously, you don't have to. >>neil: part of this deal is we her to avoid this cliff right now, especially the spending cuts they find onerous we put off tough decisions until next year but, dan it, that is when we are doing it. is that the same deal? >>guest: you are right. we have a continued resolution, a debt ceiling. this is weird, i don't understand what exactly is advising. somehow the republicans believe we let the president have whatever he wants, a step closer
1:03 pm
to a monarchy but when a debt ceiling comes up the public will be on our time. you will have less leverage so if there is any kind tough dole, now is the time to push that through. >>neil: the fact that neither is disparaging the other today, that leads me to believe some progress is being made. it could be progress you don't welcome but a deal is being put in shape. what worries me is that republicans in the past who signed on the deal for revenue hikes with the promise of spending cut to come, they don't see that. what do you want to see? >>guest: this is like popeye's wimpy, both sides have to understand --. >>neil: you want the sacrifice upfront? >> we will never get a legitimate deal unless it
1:04 pm
happens. the debt ceiling has been raised 107 times. last year it was supposed to resolve it at this time. we need a bill and obviously, i don't know where the g.o.p. is drawing their line on the sand but they know higher taxes are coming. some of the tax increases that go along with obama health care tax increases will dramatically hurt the economy so i help they take a stand and are not fooled into an idea that the public will give them more backing next time. that is far far-fetched. one side cannot put up legitimate things immediately and the other site putting up i.o.u. >>neil: if you think any deal is better than no deal, think again, to charles' point, he says markets are good at selling
1:05 pm
off on the shams when they do. what do you make of the possibility that we could look at something that is very like what we saw last year, the trigger being not spending cuts this time but tax hikes, will it make a difference? >> it will be a disaster. here is what will happen. they push off the spending cuts until next year, when they start talking about it next year they will say push it off until after the election. then we are talking about another year where they don't do anything and the storms will get nervous, the financial markets will be nervous and that could be good if the markets started silling off to send washington a message, you are messing with the economy and playing games and playing chicken with the economy. i'm concerned if we get a deal the market will sell off because it will be tax hikes, it will be spending cuts, nothing to
1:06 pm
promote growth. >>neil: but there is a danger to doing a deal when you think the markets will like it if you score, even a bad deal. i remember when tarp was rejected under the bush administration we felt, we saw the market drop 770 points. and the argument was get back and maybe the markets will not fall, and then two months later we were down 4,000 points from that level so whatever panic attack you fear that is a slow bleed, anyway. >> we seeing our markets underperform global markets and have gone sideways since the election and we had a sell off and now they have involved that and are moving sideways. if they bring a deal that is all just a deal that is all fluff and no real circumstance. what we will see is a market that sells off.
1:07 pm
there is an old adage on wall street, buy the room or sell the fat f we bring a deal all tax hike, wall street will see that, and the markets will sell off, and we will be in a bigger mess than we were to begin with. >>neil: they should leave the markets out and do what make as good deal for you. if it sounds preposterous and like a shell game the markets will know. >>guest: we have a sluggish economy. you have to promise note growth in the economy. if you promote growth, revenues come in. they are worried about tax rates but they do not mean anything if you have less revenue coming in because you are slowing down as an economy and that is hitting the economy and already happening. >>neil: thank you, jim. they are off.
1:08 pm
these guys are racing because they just heard that their super hero is headed to ground zero, fully clothed in this battle to avoid a fiscal cliff as we try to bring both sides together we have arizona senator john mccain, and maryland democratic congressman, and florida republican senator subrow, and connecticut independent senator, lieberman, and former debt co-chair and i could go on but i told you i take it upon myself to fix this mess as if i'm not busy enough thank you but i am looking after you and this country and if they cannot put together something, yours truly can and if i have to show up in spandex, i will. >> six weeks after losing their home they are being kicked out of their temporary one.
1:09 pm
it goes down this week. you wonder whether all of the high five's with the politicians commending fema had a clue. >> a big shout out to fema. they are a great partner. >> the president could not have appointed a better person. >> the administration, fema you have established when the call goes out the country is there to help their people. the "share t. get a great deal on a new subaru and 250 dollars goes to your choice of five charities. by the end of this, our fifth year, our total can reach almost 25 million dollars. it's a nice reflection on us all. now through january 2nd. get 0% apr financing for 36 months on a 2013 subaru forester

1:12 pm
1:13 pm
that focused on getting things done. >> i thank the governor for his leadership from the beginning. >> we have all worked very closely together and i thank the governor for his leadership here. >> high has not stopped from the moment the storm hit. >> then schumer has done great work. i thank him on behalf of all of the people of the state of new york. >> maybe the people affected by hurricane sandy with fema trailers sitting idle in pennsylvania and a staten island resident has had it what did you make of this? >> well, thanks for having me. i feel it sun fair. i have family that i can stay with. family has denied me rental assistance or temporary living. i assume that is because they left 3 1/2 hours away from us after bringing them from texas
1:14 pm
and wasting our time and money and their efforts. it is completely unfair and ten days before christmas you want to take away what you have given them temporarily. they should health the people start receiving checks from their insurance companies and maybe some progress in the house before they give them the boot. if you didn't have family, chris, would you have been able to benefit with the temporary housing or hotels that others have taken advantage of? without have been able to qualify? >> in the beginning we assumed we would stay with our families and we applied for rental assistance and they did not give us any help, my wife me, my
1:15 pm
young babies at the time. >> we hearing and we could not get anyone from fema and we tried the governor of new york to no avail, fema says it is the governor's call whether they want to extend the deadline for housing assistance or temporary housing assistance. but whether the governor does that or not we will be revisiting this. if fema knew this was a distinct possibility and fema predicted it could drag on, the housing situation, for thousands of your friends and colleagues, for many months, you would have thought there would be a contingency plan to deal with that. >> of course.
1:16 pm
everyone is on their own. you wonder all day long, what is the next step? that is unfair to the americans. >> what is fema doing in your neck of the woods? what do you see fema representatives doing at staten island? >> wasting peoples time and aggravating them. they come on the block once in a while, they want to ask you questions, did you fill out the loan application, looks like your paperwork wasn't done right, you have to appeal, and you ask them questions and they don't have answers. they tell you, well, we only help if we can and you have to fill out the paperwork. it is harassing to get someone to knock on the door to harass you to fill out a loan like having a car salesman stop by your house once a week and ask if you want do buy a car.
1:17 pm
if you are not helping you, i have to get over it, leave me alone, i am doing my paperwork, do not remind me every day or once a week, whichever house you decide to stop at today, why do you have to remind me of everything that has happened. you have established you are not helping me, i am tired of asking questions, it is frustrating. and they go on about it every day like it is nothing. all the political figures running around standing with people that are voluntarily coming out, just civilians, they are not government coming, it is normal people. our city officials and government that walk around these people like, look what we doing, what are they doing, running trailers from texas or
1:18 pm
pennsylvania and now you want to put the people on streets and you say there is nowhere to put trailer service there were 208,000 tons of garbage down the block great my block, why can't now that the garbage is done put the trailers there? >>neil: novel idea. thank you, chris. certainly we remind you while they are back slapping and saying everything is fine, we are not there. we are not here to blame the president or democrat leaders or republican leaders while they high five each other these folks are saying, hello? hello? for get in the middle of this the united states is claiming the nobel peace prize and look who is accepting.
1:19 pm
>> sin you mention north korea this crisis was originated in north america. ...so as you can see, geico's customer satisfaction is at 97%. mmmm tasty. . people are always asking me how we make these geico adverts. so we're taking you behind the scenes. this coffee cup, for example, is computer animated. it's not real. geico's customer satisfaction is quite real though. this computer-animated coffee tastes dreadful.
1:20 pm
1:22 pm
>>neil: it is like me winning the lifetime fitness award, it ain't going to happen unless i am living in europe when there is precedent when the entire european union accepts the nobel peace prize. i am serious, they are serious, the same folks who brought you riots they could not stop and protests they could not control, and now they are winning a nobel peace prize that has to be unbelievable for a union that is going off the we rails and a currency that threatens to go off the abyss to former u.k.
1:23 pm
member of parliament john brown who is going out of his mind. i cannot believe this, but, yet, when i first heard it announced, it really happened. >> yes, you are absolutely right. when i was a nato soldier myself and when i was a member of parliament i was on the political arm of nato which was the north atlantic assembly and it was clear that it was nato particularly with the american and british nuclear deterrence that kept the peace and that extended through a circle around the ussr and margaret thanker made me the escort for gorbachev and it was clear that president reagan's strategic defense initiative brought them to the negotiating tabling the e.u. was not alive, it was not a political union. >>neil: given the trend and how they hand out the awards the
1:24 pm
common theme seems to be bash america, sort of like sally field accepting it for, i don't know, jane fonda, his theme has been europe is in the pickle because of the united states, but this is a prevailing view that the european union is facing their problems because of the united states. they cannot be serious. >>guest: no, i quite agree and basically, norway, which gives the thing, it is very political, norway is not even in the european union but they are next door to this whole number which is a growing totalitarian state. it failed to give peace over kosovo and it has given its people massive borrowing and not they have over borrowed and the recommendation is alwaysst either and now you have rioting and forces for secession to break up the european union. it is a massive totalitarian
1:25 pm
state, grabbing power, and it gives its parliament elections but in power, and it does not like disagreement and it is against opposition, and, in fact, there are move moves afoot to stay any speaking against the european is a legal on fence and it is founded upon deceit and corruption. why did the european union need 2,000 secret bank accounts if it wasn't bribing politicians all over the place? grabbing totalitarian similar to the soviet union but the neighbors now are frighten and norway has given it a totally undeserved peace prize which is staggering. >>neil: staggering to me as well, the former u.k. parliament member. he calls it like he sees them. and now some american folly pointing fingers this washington over a deal that is not happening and angry republicans
1:29 pm
1:30 pm
and now time for a friendly super hero to get moving. >> i am suiting up and headed down to our capital to save our country. it is not from one side only it takes to both sides. ski have to bring the plan in person as if i don't have enough to do buying meat and cheese for my loved ones. tomorrow, we will stop by the capitol and the white house to talk about a busy talk but that is what super heroes do. the michigan republican congressman who is here to say what his party shouldn't do. congressman, your fear came on taxes. don't do it. >>guest: given the deals we are talking abouts we should not cave on taxes when the amount of
1:31 pm
spending cuts over 10 years are a drop in the bucket. >>neil: so, when you lost the committee leadership assignment, did that opposition play into that? did speaker boehner say if you were quieter you would still be if a key role? >>guest: well, speaker boehner's staff have not talked to me. the only talking they have done is to the press off the record and anonymously so i have not heard anything directly from the speaker and, look be it is not about who will compromise or who will work with democrats or who will do what is right for our country is what matters. right now, the kind of things we hear from both the speaker and the president are not what is great for our country. we need were bigger spending cuts, we can talk about taxes but it needs to be part of a larger deal that balances our budget. >>neil: so, congressman, you are not averse to revenues being part of the equation, but you
1:32 pm
are not liking the return offers from the democrat. though want to revisit $1 trillion agreed for last year and you say that is leftovers. explain? >>guest: well, we don't need anymore revenue in washington, that is clear. we have enough revenue to run our constitutional functions but if we are going to talk about making a deal with the democrats, be serious about it. so far, neither has been matter serious. if republics want to talk about it they have to put pentagon spending on the table. if democrats want to talk about it we have to have entitlement reform but the deal has to be bigger than we are talking about. right now they are only talking about dealing with things that could resolve a tenth of the problem. we need to resolve the whole problem because we headed for a real financial crisis. >> you don't like the idea of making a promise to address the more serious issues next year, you want did see some numbers, even tentative numbers, this year. >>guest: well, congress has
1:33 pm
been making promises for decade and that is why we are where we are and we have a $16 trillion debt. every person in this country has $50,000 in debt that is responsible, the responsibility congress. that is where congress put it. we have to make some changes and make them now. >>neil: you put a lot of good things up there for everyone to consider. thank you very much, congressman. fair and balanced and now what the president shouldn't do. what did you think of what the congressman just offered? that is, go ahead, serious cuts would include defense, the holy grail for republicans. but we have to see more from democrats in terms of the spending cuts. what do you say? >>guest: put me in a room with him and maybe we can come up with deals. we don't agree with much but he is a good man with the right intentions. i am not looking to kick the
1:34 pm
ball down the road. i don't like to say we promise to make more cuts next year and promise to raise them next year. whatever we do, do it, and get on to the rest of the business. >>neil: what i am hearing is, and, again, it could be wrong, main is saying hateful things to each other today which could indicate something is happening. if you are going to agree to revenue hikes and i agree they will go up, but, the flip side, then, should be, serious and well spelled out spending cuts to go along with that, it is the flip side of that, the flip side of the revenue part, that is what people find wanting. they are getting nervous should they? >>guest: i am nervous. i am nervous about the whole thing. even the tax revenue part. i'm not sure i have seen enough details to settle on whether i would support it. >>neil: on the revenue side, congressman, it has to be a rate hike for you, not this --. >>guest: if my former life i
1:35 pm
was a tax attorney when i made money. so, rates are pop, -- are important, and there are other ways to raise revenues. rates for me are not the magic goal but who pays them. >>neil: and the spending cuts are delineating --. >>guest: that would be a mistake. >>neil: when the congressional black cause says don't touch entitlements does it party you your party is not in sync with what you offered? >>guest: i wish they were as monolithic as you imply. i don't want to cut entitlements but medicare and medicaid neat to be tweaked. to keep them for the future. the question is, what do you mean?
1:36 pm
someone's tweak is someone else's devastation much the details matter. a lot. like spending cut, i am for spending cuts but which ones. some may be for tax increases, but can ones? >>neil: you two should take over this whole operation. >>guest: we wish. >>neil: i will try to sort this out super hero-style. we looked up at the sky, and that is not a bird or a plane but that is a hunky italian american here to save you and the planet earth live tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. where no matter the season saving you is always in season, spandex or not. did you hear about throw women eating dinner in california, ready to pay the check and they

Neal shed about three or four days ago, and before that he had a few wax worms. I've had crickets for a week (length of time vet said to wait before feeding), and only two survived... Neal won't eat them.
Is it normal to not eat this long after a shed?
Yes his terrarium temps, humidity, etc, are normal/required, etc.

First off why did the vet tell you not to feed it for a week? If it was there for a problem that may very well be why. I don't like to do this but I have to with mine because they won't eat during the day at all so I leave a few crickets in at night,be sure to put a small piece of lettuce or orange in the cage so the crickets have something to naw on instaed of your gecko. Or try meal or superworms and see if it responds to them. What type of lighting do you have on it? If you don't already try a red heat lamp full time I had to do it with leapard geckos to get them to eat during the daytime.

I feed mine 12-15 crickets once a week, usually on Sat. It's the only way she eats. She's never been a piggy. She's very lazy, therefore the food lasts that long. She's far from starved or skinny by any means. She's actually so lazy, I have to drop the crix in her rock hide one at a time! She hasn't hunted in years!! Good thing she's a pet. She'd never survive in the wild.
FYI - Some snakes only eat a small/med rat once a month. I'm actually contemplating picking up a corn snake soon. I had 2 ball pythons a long time ago and miss my snakes :(. Had to sell when the wife got preggers. They say reptiles are really bad to have around preggar women and young children...

What is the reason not to have reptiles around pregnant women and small children? Never heard that unless they're referring to the chance of samonella poisoning,which is not as common as most people think it is when your animals are kept properly. As for your geckos I picked up a breeding pair of fat tails a little over a month ago and my male eats daily and the female is about like yours,she only eats once or twice a week.

First Attempt at Seat Cover
Life's simple pleasure quotes : wake up naturally everyday without the noise from the alarm clock.. 🙂
My seat-cover for Mr S's computer chair is completed!
I did a simple block design with as MANLY colors fabric as i could find.. 🙂
I think i might need to buy more of greys, browns, beige and blacks.. more graphic and less floral and cute prints for my next BIG project –>> Mr S's Blanket!!
I used polyester for the batting as i wanted it to have a cushiony feel and look.
This is my first attempt at polyester, it was completely out of my control. If you look closely, the seat cover is actually slightly out of shape. I tried to even up by binding, which do helps a little.. Anyway, Practice makes Perfect, i will make a better one next time round! 🙂

|RE: echo true or false
|Wed, 05 Feb 2003 21:33:08 GMT
Doh! Of course! Sort of like the opposite of java programming where, instead of if ... else, you set a variable to a default value, and then if (some condition) you reset it to something else, only with ant, it's the reverse, you try to set it afterward, which will only work if you didn't set it the first time. Still, one might hope for a better syntax than that. Sheesh - if I ALSO want to use that property as an "if" or "unless" parameter, I'm screwed again, right? Can't go setting it to false. I have to use your trick to define a SECOND property based on the first for display purposes. Oh, well.... -----Original Message----- From: David McTavish [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 3:16 PM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: RE: echo true or false <condition property="my.property> ... whatever tests </condition> <property name="my.property" value="false"/> <echo .../> If you set the property AGAIN, after the condition, it won't reset the property if it was previously set to "true", BUT, it will set it if it is still null. d. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Cohen [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 4:09 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: echo true or false The <available>, <condition>, etc. set of tasks all work by setting a property if a condition is met. My problem is that I would like to echo the results of this test. <condition property="my.property> ... whatever tests </condition> <echo message="my.property=${my.property}"/> If the property is set, "true" will be echoed. If it hasn't been set, "${my.property}" will be echoed. Pretty ugly. I would like "false" to be echoed. I would like the ability to set a property true or false depending on the results of a conditional test.

Romain Grosjean believes his sixth-place finish for Haas in their Formula One debut felt like a win for the American team.
Romain Grosjean says??his sixth-place finish??for Haas in their Formula One debut felt like a win for the American team.??
Grosjean started the Australian Grand Prix from 19th on the grid but managed to work his way up into a points finish in Melbourne on Sunday.
The new team were able to capitalise??after a terrifying crash involving Fernando Alonso and their other driver??Esteban Gutierrez brought out a red flag, which saw Grosjean benefit from a change of tyres.??
Frenchman Grosjean??was effectively??able to make a 'free pit stop' and??managed to hold off pressure from Force India's Nico Hulkenberg and Williams' Valtteri Bottas late in the race.??
"The key was the strategy, the red flag,"??he told Sky Sports??F1. "We had a pit stop and then stayed on those tyres to the end of the race.??
"It wasn't??easy because we had no reference [of the medium compound tyre], but we kind of got it right and made it work."
He added: "It feels like standing on the top step of podium.??It's been an amazing race and weekend.??
"For all the guys, the work they have been doing, so much work, since day one I told the guys the car has huge potential - but we needed a good result to see if that was true.
"We have plenty of areas we can improve but this result is a huge morale and confidence boost."
Grosjean's sixth-place finish meant Haas??became the first team since Toyota in 2002 to claim points on their F1 debut, when Mika Salo finished sixth at the same circuit.??

So I have searched and searched, and still cannot find an answer I'm looking for. It seems like multiple people have had this issue as well. When I go to render my project from resolve, whether it be the full range data, or video levels, The image always appears brighter than how it is set to look in resolve. Even exporting stills has the same effect, I can not get the blacks to line up like they are supposed to. Is there some function built into resolve to work around this? My input footage is prores 422 from the bmcc, I've tried h264, prores 422, prores 422 HQ, When I bring the clip that has been exported back into resolve, it looks as it should. This leads me to believe that resolve has some sort of preset black level if that makes any sense. Anyways, I'm extremely confused and would love some insight if anyone has dealt with this in the past.
Below is an image of what the levels look like in resolve compared to rendered, even though the shift is slight, it is still there and looks a bit milky compared to the original.

Gravity models are used to explain bilateral flows related to the sizes of bilateral partners, a measure of distance between them and other influences on interaction costs. The underlying idea is rather simple. The greater the masses of two bodies and the smaller the distance between them, the stronger their attraction. This concept is applied to several research topics such as trade, migration or foreign direct investment. Even though their basic idea is rather simple, gravity models can become complex regarding the choice of models or estimation methods. As especially for gravity beginners it is difficult to get an overview of the different methods and implement them in R, the package provides a wrapper of different standard estimation methods for gravity models. By considering the descriptions and codes of the estimation methods, users get a comprehensive and application-oriented overview of the different methods, see which method may be suitable for a certain research question or type of data and extend the code available to their research projects. The package contains two types of estimation methods: those estimating gravity models in their log-log form, such as Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Fixed Effects, Double Demeaning (DDM), Bonus vetus OLS with simple averages (BVU) and with GDP-weights (BVW), Structural Iterated Least Squares (SILS), Tetrads, and different Tobit models (Tobit, ET-Tobit, EK-Tobit). These methods are partly complex to understand and program and thus a comparison of them is not straightforward, wherefore the package aims at easing an overview of the different methods combined with a direct application. A second type of estimation methods utilizes the gravity model in its multiplicative form with a log-link and different families of distributions. They are relatively easy to compute, added for completeness and contain the methods Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML), Gamma Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (GPML), Negative Binomial Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (NBPML), and Nonlinear Least Squares (NLS). All functions named estimate gravity models, but they differ in whether they estimate them in their multiplicative or additive form, their requirements and assumptions with respect to data, their handling of Multilateral Resistance terms as well as their possibilities concerning the inclusion of unilateral independent variables. Therefore, they normally lead to different estimation results. We refer the user to the Gravity Cookbook website (

Inflation is a concept most Albertans understand. It's no secret that the items you buy today will cost more in the future. But what's more challenging is understanding how inflation can decrease the real investment returns you receive and erode the purchasing power of your retirement savings.
Investing is about balancing your desire to grow your money with your risk comfort level. Because fluctuations in the stock market are often front-page news, many investors think the only kind of risk is market risk.
In reality, investors have another kind of risk to consider: inflation risk.
To make sure the money you invest will have greater purchasing power in the future, you have to understand the impact of inflation on your portfolio. For example, it's common sense that a 6% annual return is better than a 3% annual return, but the difference between the two is even more significant when you consider Canada's recent inflation rate has averaged about 2%.
That means that the first 2% of real purchasing power on your investment dollars will be lost to inflation—and, as such, the lower-paying investment returns just 1% more than the inflation rate itself. Over the long term, if your investment returns barely cover the inflation rate, the compounding effects of 2% annual inflation translate to more groans at the gas station and grocery store.
To have greater purchasing power in the future, your investments have to outpace inflation. By building a portfolio with investments that resist the effects of inflation, you can hold on to your purchasing power.
Investing in the stock market has its risks, and for "risk-free" investment products (like holding cash), the biggest risk is inflation. As a result, when it comes to reaching your retirement goals, playing it safe isn't usually the best strategy.

text: Ranjith Kanag Photography | About home | portfolio | client area Wedding coverage from £1295 Options available include: - Matted, Coffee Table and Storybook albums - Smaller copy albums - Proof books containing all the images from the day - Framed prints Frequently Asked Questions How many photographs will you take on the day? I don't limit the number of photographs I take – I will take as many pictures as there are opportunities. The total will depend on the size of your wedding and the length of your day, but typically it falls somewhere between 800 – 1000 pictures for a full day. I then narrow this selection down to the very best 300– 400, which I work on further to optimise the images before showing you. Do I get to keep all the pictures? Yes, part of my service is to give you a CD of all the images from the day. These will be at a high quality suitable for taking prints and without any copyright watermarks for personal use only. If I hire you, am I guaranteed that you will be the one who shows up on the day to photograph my wedding? Absolutely. I am the sole photographer so if you book me, you are guaranteed to be communicating with me leading up to the wedding and seeing me on the day itself. In the unlikely event of an injury or sickness beyond my control I shall do my very best to provide you with a photographer who shoots a similar style to mine to cover your wedding. I would like 2 photographers for my event - do you work with anyone else? Although my preference is to work alone, there will be occasions where, for whatever reason one photographer will not be able to cover all the key moments. I do use a number of established photographers to help me at these times and am happy to quote you if this something you would like. How soon will I get to see the pictures? My aim is to get the pictures post-processed and available to view online within 3 weeks of the event. I believe in working hard to get the pictures turned around for you as soon as possible while maintaining my high standards. Will you visit the venue before the wedding day? I tend not to visit the venue before the wedding. This is because lighting and backgrounds change depending on the time of day/year so what may look lovely several weeks before the wedding might look different on the day. However, I do always arrive at the venue in good time to give myself a chance to familiarise myself with the surroundings and scout out good locations, shooting angles and backdrops to use during the day. What kind of camera do you use? What happens if your equipment breaks down during the wedding? I use Canon's range of digital SLR cameras with their professional series lenses. I bring backups of all my main equipment so in the very unlikely event that something should break down, I can quickly pick up a spare and continue working without any fuss. I have public liability insurance. Where are you based and how far will you travel? I'm in South Croydon, Surrey and the prices on this website include me travelling within the M25. For those events outside this area, I will charge my extra travel at cost. Do you offer video services? No, I am just a stills photographer. This all sounds great…what do I do next? Please contact me to arrange a no-obligation meeting where you'll get a chance to see more of my work and we can discuss your event in more detail. © Ranjith Kanag Photography Powered by ZENFOLIO User Agreement Cancel Continue

Did Trump Pocket Thousands For Hosting Kids Cancer Charity Event? — Shocking Claim
Is that a scandal we smell? The Trump Organization may be in hot water over alleged new IRS filings that don't seem to add up. In reported new research, it appears as though large amounts of money were funneled back into the Trump Organization, while donors thought their contributions would be sent to charity.
The Trump family may have some explaining to do over new claims that they could have been untruthful about where donor money was being placed. The Eric Trump Foundation reportedly paid President Donald Trump's businesses $1.2 million between 2007 and 2015 for costs related to the non-profit foundation's annual charity event at the Trump National Golf Club [in Westchester County, New York], according to SF Gate.
Eric Trump reportedly told Forbes that the Trump Organization [which he now runs] granted his foundation permission to use the golf course at zero cost, and paid for a majority of the expenses for the golf tournament.
However, IRS filings [reportedly discovered by Forbes] claim that Eric's story doesn't exactly add up. The Trump National Golf Club reportedly charged Eric's foundation with hundreds of thousands of dollars from 2007-2015 for the day-long event. Nonetheless, donors for the event were guided to believe that a large sum of their contributions would go to the foundation's cause, which is children's cancer research.
A discovery from the report claims that "more than $500,000 of the money raised by the Eric Trump Foundation was actually re-donated to other charities, including four groups that later paid to host golf tournaments at Trump properties." A second finding claims that "in one instance, the Donald J. Trump Foundation donated $100,000 to the Eric Trump Foundation, money that was then redirected to Trump's businesses to pay for the golf tournament costs." [via SF Gate from Forbes].
At one time, the Trump Organization did cover the event's expenses. Though, according to a source close to the event, it was the President, 70, who allegedly made the call for the Trump Organization to begin charging Eric's foundation for the event in 2007.
"Mr. Trump had a cow. He flipped. He was like, 'We're donating all of this stuff, and there's no paper trail? No credit?' And he went nuts. He said, 'I don't care if it's my son or not — everybody gets billed,'" Ian Gillule, the former membership and marketing director at Trump National, Westchester, told Forbes.
And, here is where things really come into question. According to Forbes' reports, the amount of money that the Trump Organization charged Eric's foundation through the years [2007-2015] drastically increased from year to year. The costs went up and down with a difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars. To make matters worse, there is no apparent explanation for the extreme differences in costs through the years, according to golf tournament experts and former employees at the Trump golf club.
Here is a piece of data from the report that shows the fluctuation in costs over the years: "The first four yearly tournaments cost about $50,000 each. But in 2011, the costs jumped from $46,000 to $142,000. After dropping back down to $59,000 in 2012, the costs again rose to $230,000 in 2013, $242,000 in 2014, and $322,000 in 2015." The data also points out that IF the reports are factual, "this activity violates federal and state law."
HollywoodLifers, do you think the Trump family were involved in illegal activity?

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
Three days after my boyfriend vanished I was on a plane from New York to Los Angeles. I was in a state of shock as I packed my bags to fly across the country where I was scheduled to teach the finer points of personal essay at an intensive four-week program. I had worried how the month apart would affect us. Now it wasn't a concern.
I cried into my suitcase. I wallowed in big, wet, sobs. I paused to throw up. I got on the plane with sunglasses on to hide my bloodshot eyes. I thanked a god I don't always believe in when I got a window seat. I then cursed this same deity when the man and woman seated beside me became engaged during the flight, celebrating with champagne, loud kisses, and inexplicably, a large La Familigia pizza they had ferryed onto the plane for expressly this purpose.
My friend running the program knew the state I was in upon arrival. He was sympathetic and promised me one wonderful thing: Complete distraction. He was right. The job (combined with my day job which I did, ironically, at night) was intense and kept me busy. During the day I taught and taught and taught and at night I fell into the twin bed in the dorm room where I was sleeping and stared at the wall until I fell asleep. Was this purgatory? A much-needed pause in a moment of emotional crisis? Romantic rehab? I tried not to think too hard about it, walking for miles in the blistering SoCal heat on my day off, listening to audiobooks entitled things like "Men Who Cannot Love."
When it rained (because of course it did, knowing that I really needed some pathetic fallacy in my life) I sat on the covered porch outside my suite and stared at the mountain ranges on the horizon. I felt sad and confused and wrecked and crazy.
"We're going to Disneyland." My friend had included me on the list of trip chaperones, which meant a free ticket to the happiest place on earth. I had never been to Disney. Growing up, my dad the snob made it really clear that if he and my mom were going to shell out money they didn't have on family vacations it would be to someplace like Switzerland. His hatred of the mouse was a moot point, really. We never went to either.
Even the bus ride from the campus to Anaheim felt illicit. I joked about being a Disney virgin, but I was, for the first time in two weeks, curious about something. The bus unloaded us at the parking lot, and on the tram ride to the park I felt my skin prickle in anticipation. I was in good hands between my friend and his two compatriots who joined us just past the ticket booths: They weren't just Disney enthusiasts, they were Disney veterans. Talk of Fast Passes, of Park Hopping, of line length rained down upon me. I had the luxury of just nodding and trailing behind them, seeing everything from behind my scrim of sad.
Then, suddenly, I stopped walking. We'd hit Main Street U.S.A. and my feet just stopped, independent of my own will. I was weirdly reminded of the last time they'd done that, keeping me from stepping directly upon a snake. This time my body wasn't reacting to peril, it was reacting to spectacle. The perfect row of houses from a bygone era that guided you gently and directly towards the castle that is universally familiar. "Boy, it's really blinged out, huh?" For the park's 60th anniversary, the castle was indeed bedecked.
Before I knew what was happening, there was a lump in my throat. My eyes were getting crowded. You will not cry at Disneyland, I instructed myself. I redirected my gaze, desperately hunting for something ordinary to land upon. A statue of Walt and the mouse didn't help. I let the weeping - happy for a change -- happen. I was finally here.
We had all day -- just one day -- to do the park. My hosts, bearing witness to my complete catharsis, took to me one of the places in the park where cocktails could be procured. I ordered a Manhattan (served with a massive ice chunk carved into a diamond) and tried to feel miserable. Misery has been my look for weeks, the idea of slipping out of it made me feel naked and nervous. Leaving the restaurant, giddiness overtook me as we passed a dancing posse of singing newspaper boys in the street. My entire life I've dreamed of a world where it was acceptable to burst into song and it was finally happening. My face was painted in a goofy grin. I know this was the case, because I saw Goofy and compared.
There were things I expected: Too-long lines, sunburns, a plethora of children just as overwhelmed as I was. But I didn't expect Disney to live up to the hype, and it did. I didn't expect the rides to usher me fully into a land of story, and they did. I didn't expect to be tooling around the Haunted Mansion when I realized that life was going to keep going and that I was going to be happy about things again, but that's exactly what happened.
When I hit a challenge or a disappointment in my life, it's hard for me not to mentally spiral. A person I cared about treats me badly and it means I'm not worthy of love. It means I'm going to die alone. It means there' s no purpose and what am I doing with my life? It's a delicious and evil and far too easy dramatic slide down to despair.
I've felt its tug a lot lately. I feel it right now at the base of my spine, initiating and insisting. But for a handful of hours, like the damn cliche that sent my father sneering, it was gone and I was happy.

NPDES Permitting and Limits Development
KERAMIDA has provided assistance to many municipal and industrial clients in the preparation of NPDES permit applications and the development of appropriate permit limits and biomonitoring conditions. Our professionals have negotiated successfully on our clients' behalf with state environmental agencies and the U.S. EPA offices in Regions One and Five.
In a project completed for the City of Indianapolis, KERAMIDA provided technical support to the City for the preparation of its applications for the NPDES permit renewals for its two POTWs and the stormwater NPDES. The work included:
- Technical evaluation of plant performance and river water quality data collected over a period of 10 years
- Interpretation of applicable present and forthcoming regulations
- Evaluation of their impact on the permits and development of strategies for compliance
- Negotiations with regulatory agencies
In another case, KERAMIDA was retained by a major municipality to assist in the development of its NPDES permit limits, in the preparation of comments to the proposed permit and in negotiations with the regulatory agency. This included evaluation of the impact of the Great Lakes Initiative, as well as evaluation of multiple river water, sediment and invertebrate studies, effluent toxicity assessments, and industrial discharges.
In a project for an East Coast Industrial Facility, KERAMIDA drafted comments to the proposed NPDES permit and established technical justification which convinced EPA Region I to issue the final permit without the objectionable limits included in the proposed permit.
Stormwater Management & Enforcement
KERAMIDA has provided assistance to hundreds of industrial and municipal clients in the preparation and negotiation of NPDES permit applications, stormwater management strategies, and the preparation of SWPPP and SPCC plans. KERAMIDA has also provided extensive evaluation of stormwater management and discharges, facility expansions, and past practices, and has provided litigation support in a multi-million dollar U.S. EPA enforcement case.
Our professionals have received intensive training on stormwater sampling methodology and have conducted the sampling and prepared the necessary applications on behalf of numerous industrial clients, as well as trained industrial representatives for sample collection.
Highlighted Stormwater Runoff Experience
KERAMIDA prepared comments to proposed federal stormwater regulations on behalf of a major municipality, and designed a management plan for the municipality's compliance with forthcoming stormwater regulations to be used as a planning guide. The management plan included:
- Storm water discharge and stream monitoring plans
- Critical information gathering and review schemes
- Estimation of associated costs
- Coordination with local industry/business community
- Development of local authority requirements
In another project, KERAMIDA directed a stormwater monitoring and assessment study of Fall Creek, Indiana, to evaluate the impact of metropolitan runoff on the stream's water quality over numerous storm events. The study included collection of stream water samples before, during, and after a storm, for multiple storm events.
Water Quality Assessments
Eagle Creek - KERAMIDA performed an investigation of the presence of hazardous organic and inorganic substances in Eagle Creek and Eagle Creek reservoir in Indiana, an evaluation of possible pollutant contributing areas, and an assessment of pollutants' effects to human health and environment.
Chloride in Great Lakes Study - KERAMIDA performed a study to evaluate the presence and cause of chloride in the waters of Lake Michigan under a grant from U.S. EPA Region 5.
Water Quality Standards - KERAMIDA evaluated the impact of new Indiana water quality standards on a major municipality's NPDES permits and on industrial indirect dischargers. KERAMIDA also prepared comments to the proposed water quality regulation on behalf of the municipality.
Highlighted Experience
Drainage Study and Implementation
KERAMIDA's work in a drainage study and implementation project included:
- Evaluating drainage alternatives for large commercial trucking facility
- Calculating drainage basin flow and performing hydrologic model to obtain construction permit
- Oversight of design
- Preparation of applications to city and state agencies
- Successfully negotiating with both agencies to reverse their original refusal and issue the permits. Permits were granted by both agencies.
Construction in a Floodway Permit
KERAMIDA has prepared numerous permit applications and performed floodway modeling using HEC-2 and HEC-RAS software; prepared IDNR permit applications, including soil erosion plans; and negotiated with IDNR and obtained permits.
Recharge Pond
KERAMIDA has conducted an extensive recharge pond study for evaluation of environmental impacts of adjacent land practices by an energy generation facility on the pond's water and sediment and the vicinity's groundwater.
Fish Kills
KERAMIDA has conducted extensive investigations of fish kills, on behalf of potential dischargers, including:
- Circumstances of fish kill
- River studies
- Fish sampling and cause of death determination
- Chemical breakdown in surface waters
- Modeling of dispersion
The work included extensive evaluation of POTW operations, and presence of toxic compounds in sewers.
Wetlands Delineation And Mitigation
KERAMIDA has conducted identification, delineation and mitigation of wetlands as part of many site assessments, major development projects, and landfill siting and design projects.

Lance R. Williams
Assoc. Professor Department of Computer Science University of New Mexico
Cellular automata (CA) were initially conceived as a formal model to study self-replication in artificial systems. Although self-replication in natural systems is characterized by exponential population increase until exhaustion of resources, after more than fifty years of research, no CA-based self-replicator has come close to exhibiting such rapid population growth. We believe this is due to an intrinsic limitation of CA's, namely, the inability to model extended structures held together by bonds and capable of diffusion.
To address this shortcoming, we introduce a model of parallel distributed spatial computation which is highly expressive, infinitely scalable, and asynchronous. We then use this model to define a series of self-replicating machines. These machines assemble copies of themselves from components supplied by diffusion and increase in number exponentially until the supply of components is exhausted. Because they are both programmable constructors for a class of machines, and self-descriptions, we call these machines reified quines.
Bio: Lance R. Williams received his BS degree in computer science from the Pennsylvania State University and his MS and PhD degrees in computer science from the University of Massachusetts. Prior to joining UNM, he was a post-doctoral scientist at NEC Research Institute. His research interests include computer vision and graphics, digital image processing, and neural computation.

My name is Steve, and I'm thrilled that you decided to stop by and check out my site.
I believe that one of the most important things in life is to keep learning and growing. Relationships, skills, culture, and knowledge shape our lives, and growth is the vehicle we use to make our lives better. This site is a showcase and a diary, a personal reminder and a motivator, and a way for me to share how I am growing and what I am learning with the outside world.
I'm a guy in my mid thirties who lives in a home in Riverview that we are currently renovating and planning to sell. I am married to a beautiful girl named Amber since March of 2011. We worked together during the first 5 years of our marriage on a few cool things. First, we tried to spend a lot of quality time together as newlyweds. I am a firm believer that family comes first, because without strong support everything else you attempt in life is that much harder.
Second, we worked hard and sacrificed to become debt-free. During the first year of our marriage, I sold my beloved (paid for) Honda S2000 convertible to give us a leg up on our future. We both worked two jobs and now we drive two paid for cars and have no debt other than our home mortgage… no credit cards, no student loans, no consumer debt. We have a fully funded emergency fund of 6 months worth of expenses in the bank, and it helps us sleep really well at night. It has also given us a freedom as a couple that has really helped define us, as well as the great experience of making a goal as a team and accomplishing it. This experience I feel has mode us both very hopeful for the future.
We took some time to play, too. In the last three years, we have been to many other countries, made a lot of new friends, and visited many new places. We have hiked to to summit of Mount Liamugia on the volcanic island of St Kitts, and explored the ancient Mayan ruins at Chichen Izta. We have ziplined in St. Lucia, power snorkeled in Grand Turk, explored shipwrecks in Barbados, and stood feet below landing planes on Maho beach in St. Marteen. All in all, its been a pretty incredible experience.
House projects and renovations are a hobby of mine. I've learned to tile and lay hardwood, build concrete block walls, stucco, wallpaper, install toilets and appliances, install A/C systems, and create custom cabinets in my time as a homeowner over the past few years. I think a lot of it looks pretty great now, although I will admit that there were times that the house was in pieces and I had to lean on my wife's patience.
I own a company called Emu Design and Consulting, which has accomplished some pretty incredible things for our clients.
So what about now? Currently, I am working hard to increase my skills in creative design. I am already fluent in Adobe Creative Suite programs like Photoshop, but I am also learning a lot of cool things in other programs like 3dS Max, After Effects, and others. I'm continuing to make progress in coding languages like PHP, JQuery, and CSS. I also have a bit of a soft spot for video production, app creation, and game design, although I'm not yet fluent in any of these. I love to learn though, so check back in a few months.
We are also working hard to renovate this house, and I am really hopeful that when it finally comes time to sell, we will have built up enough capital that our next house will be very special in that we will be able to just write a check for it.
Learning and experiencing new things is a passion of mine, and I intend to carry that passion forward to the future. I have a few dreams in life… to own a company that I don't have to work at, to be physically fit, to be financially free, to have the house paid off, to grow my family. Stay tuned. I'll reach all those dreams soon.
Thanks again for visiting!

Serena is a solid professional. She treats beginners with kindness. patience, and positive reinforcement. Post my initial trial lesson, I was convinced that she was perfect for my needs. She had the exact expertise and presence that suited me and my goals perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a personal dance lessons.
John is exceptional dancer teacher whether you are a beginner or an advanced dancer. And, he's a nice guy too! His classes and private lessons are entertaining and super instructive. I run a local nonprofit that brought John in to teach people dance lessons and the next day I received phone calls and emails from the dancers saying how much they enjoyed John's class, even though we didn't ask for any feedback at all!
I love going to my dance lesson. He has been so patient, fun, and encouraging. I definetly recommend him as an instructor. Excellent job!!!!
Lisa is one of the greatest dance instructors out there. She breaks down the steps so anyone can learn and her fun/passionate personality about dance, makes it that much more enjoyable! I Highly recommend her!! She is the BEST!!!
I took a dance class with my son where we met Andi. He was our dance teacher who was friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable. He has good people skills and created a comraderie between his students. We all seemed excited about returning to class each week. Andi was always punctual, actually early for each class, showed general enthusiasm when greeting each of his students. He seemed to value us as we did him and I not only speak for when I say I would definitely sign up for additional classes for myself and son but I truly believe our classmates will agree. The value of this dance class is immeasurable. I still do not dance well, admittedly, but I am much better in social circles. I can thank Andi Ahmad for that. Best of luck to you always Andi. If I ever meet a person who would like to take dance lessons, you will be highly recommended.
Brandy was a very professional and extremely advanced dance instructor. She was always prepared for my sessions, 24-hr reminders prior to sessions, took the time to write me a session follow-up for homework, very adaptive to my skill level, and her positive attitude makes learning fun! I highly recommend Brady as your dance instructor!
Location is the main reason I walked into Aston Ballroom Dance Studio. I keep returning for more dance lessons because Aston has inspired my desire to learn how to move to music. Anyone can teach you steps (1-2-1-2) but Aston taught me how to feel the music and follow the man's lead. He worked with me and met me when my schedule was crazy and hectic. I live in Houston and when I visited San Antonio, I would schedule lessons to learn from the best. He made me feel confident as I was learning more difficult movements. Learning from him was fun and easy. My husband has been a ballroom dancer for many years and I surprised him one evening with my new movements :-) He quickly acknowledged my new ability to follow his lead and complimented me on my body posture (which Aston reinforced daily). I highly recommend Aston if you're looking for a professional, fun instructor.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. I firmly believe that everyone can dance and should be able to do so. My goal is to create a place where no one is turned away because of their size, shape, age, ability, or income. Dance is not just for the beautiful, small, rich, and talented. Dance belongs to no one. Dance belongs to everyone. Founder Ashley Dulin understands the power of expression through dance. She's been involved in dance since a child, and has performed in many stage productions in community performances and while in college at Eastern Michigan University. At Orchid Dreams Dance Co., she shares the expressive world of dance with students of all ages through classes in ballet, tap, jazz, and more. Whether students are training for competition or just dancing for pure fun, Ashley sees dance as a way to teach discipline and grace, while instilling students with confidence. It's also a great way to get fit, so she inspires feet to stomp and hips to shimmy during calorie-incinerating Zumba and dance-fitness sessions.
Check out our website for more info! We have a 1,300-square-foot studio with a viewing room and lots of classes to offer.
I choreograph waltz for quinceaneras and their court (30 students). We are a satellite dance school from south of the border since 1976. We teach and choreograph a dance to a waltz of your choice in four classes (weekends). The last class (rehearsal class) is given at the quinceanera's celebration venue of choice one week before to assure the orientation and flow of the dance. Instructor(s) attendance on the day of the celebration is available upon request (if available).
I am a high school dancer providing dance lessons, classes and training to those who want to learn the basics or those who love to dance. I teach all ages. No experience is required!
I give hip-hop dance lessons to those wanting to get a good workout, to learn and/or to just have fun. Dance is a great and fun way to keep the body moving. My passion and love for dance is contagious, and I'm willing to work with anyone who is willing to try and put his/her best foot forward.
With our 100 years of experience, learning to dance with Arthur Murray's certified instructors is quick, fun and easy. Dancing is a great way to stay fit, and did we mention it's fun? Learn at your own pace with one-on-one instruction accompanied by groups lessons and our practice social parties. Call us today, and dance tonight! Couples and singles are welcome!
I teach beginners ballroom and Latin dances. I have been dancing for three years and am still learning myself, but have mastered the beginners portion of these dances and am willing to teach them.
We are the San Antonio Ballet - The Performing Arts School of Classical Ballet. Our goal is to introduce each student to the joy of dance in a wholesome, supportive atmosphere while presenting it in the purest form of classical ballet training that we can provide.
Hello, my dancers. I'm looking for great dancers who are not afraid to get loose. I will teach one or two hip-hop dances to either one song or two different songs (your choice).
I prefer to view a dance space much like an artist's canvas, where objects within a dance space can be utilized; like an artist would manipulate different mediums in creating a work of art. Where most dance instructors prefer to make regular use of a studio setting alone, I prefer to make use of a myriad of dance spaces which allows for more creative flexibility and experimentation.
I do everything from hair and makeup and from ballet dance to hip-hop dance for a very reasonable price. My experience is very broad, and this is my passion! I love to give back and recognize full potential in all my students!

Major in Foreign Language with a concentration in French
Studying French
The French program ensures that students become skilled in all areas of communication, that they are aware of the connections between language and culture, and that they have a solid knowledge of the civilizations and literatures of France and the Francophone world and its rich contributions to human culture. The program prepares students for careers in teaching, translation, international relations, and diplomacy, and aims to give majors and non-majors alike an education beneficial in the pursuit of any career.
The Curriculum
The French curriculum reflects the wide range of interests and expertise of its faculty. The program offers an array of courses in language, literature, and civilization. Students have the opportunity to take courses in literature and civilization from the medieval period to the 21st century, and courses in film studies, Francophone studies, the European Union, and popular culture. The program consistently seeks to enhance the student experience with pioneering initiatives such as LinguaFolio, which allows students to assess and demonstrate the language proficiency and cultural competence that they have achieved.
The Student Experience
The international makeup of the faculty in the French program allows students to study French through the prism of many different cultures. Students have many opportunities to study abroad and engage with the surrounding community. With small classes, students benefit from a faculty that is fully engaged in all aspects of the students' education.
The VCU French Film Festival
Virginia Commonwealth University hosts the largest French Film Festival of its kind in the U.S., providing students the unique opportunity to view premieres of French films presented by French directors and actors.
